When a young girl wants to bring cupcakes from a bakery to her class, her teacher disappoints all the children by taking the tops off of the cupcakes. Why? Because the teacher was afraid the students would be unhappy about eating different kinds of cupcakes. She wanted to make the cupcakes all the same. When the girl comes home to her father, he explains to her that nothing in the world is exactly the same--some people are short, some are tall, some are thin or round, some are white, yellow or black, and the world itself is "egg shaped and funky funky - Said of something that functions, but in a slightly strange, klugey way. It does the job and would be difficult to change, so its obvious non-optimality is left alone. Often used to describe interfaces. at the poles". Some people want the world and its people to be all the same because they think it would be better, but it wouldn't be. "If everything in the world were the same, all growth would stop, all learning would stop, and all love would stop. We'd all look alike, think alike, feel alike, and act alike. Would you like that?" The gentle, sketchy color illustrations bring the parable parable, the term translates the Hebrew word "mashal"—a term denoting a metaphor, or an enigmatic saying or an analogy. In the Greco-Roman rhetorical tradition, however, "parables" were illustrative narrative examples. Jewish teachers of the 1st cent. A.D. to life, and a one-page guide for parents and teachers at the end offers tips for sharing the message of the story with children and students. Highly recommended. |
